Assertion : Darwin's finches show a variety of beaks suited for eating large seeds, flying insects and cactus seeds.

A.

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion

Darwin finches are an excellent example of the way in which the species gene pools have adapted in order for long term survival via their offspring. They were formed due to divergent evolution to avoid intcrspecific competition.

The common birds of Galapagos islands, were different from the finches of main land. The closely related species of finches had beak of different shapes and sizes, and adapted for feeding on completely different diets. Darwin also found that fossils of Galapagos islands are most similar to living species of South America. The food supply increases in arithmetic ratio but the population increases in geometric ratio. With the study of this theory it struck to Darwin that there is struggle for existence among plants and animals. This concept or competition among the living beings for their survival offered the basis for the theory of natural selection. Apparently a single ancestral group can give rise to several different varieties of species.
